Can I open a holding company that controls other companies?

The EB-5 visa offers an important route for investors seeking to reside in the United States through investment in projects that generate employment.

In general terms, there are no legal impediments to establishing a holding company that controls other companies aiming for EB-5 visa qualification. However, it is essential that the corporate structure strictly complies with the program’s requirements, including capital contribution and the generation of direct or indirect jobs, clearly demonstrating compliance with these demands during the immigration process.

The complexity increases when investing in holdings and multiple companies, requiring extra care to ensure legal compliance and transparency, thus avoiding future complications. It is recommended to consult professionals specialized in immigration and corporate law to ensure security and adherence to current regulations.

Therefore, structured planning is fundamental for a smooth and successful process.
